Sasquatch! 2014 Lineup

Sasquatch! 2014 Lineup

Thanks to bands like OutKast, standalone festivals are beginning to resemble touring festivals: If you live in New York, there’s little need to go to Coachella, when Governors Ball is so convenient. The great Pacific Northwest festival Sasquatch! offers a couple of enticements beyond its (outstanding) lineup, though: It’s held in one of the most beautiful places on Earth — in the relative wilderness of George, Wa., hours from Seattle — and for the first time, this year it’s being staged over two weekends (Memorial Day and July 4th weekends), with utterly distinct and great lineups for both events. Sasquatch!’s 2014 lineups have just been announced, and I think they rival if not surpass any I’ve seen, including Primavera. The Memorial Day lineup is headlined by (who else?) OutKast, but it’s stacked from top to bottom with the likes of the National, Queens Of The Stone Age, Haim, Cut Copy, Chance The Rapper, Panda Bear, Parquet Courts, Deafheaven, and literally dozens more legitimately exciting artists. The 4th Of July lineup is headlined by local talent Soundgarden, supported by New Order, Kraftwerk, Frank Ocean, Röyksopp + Robyn, Neutral Milk Hotel, Spoon, Tegan And Sara, Rhye, the Notwist, Kurt Vile & the Violators, Action Bronson, Sharon Van Etten, Fuck Buttons, etc. These are two stunning assemblies of talent, and I can’t imagine one’s festival dollar being put to better use. Check out the full lineups below, passes go on sale this Saturday, for ticket info go here.
